A behind the scenes shot of me working on the fabulous former Rose of Tralee Tara Henry (nee Talbot) on her wedding morning. This photo was taken with my camera (not by me) but show's how I strive for a flawless complexion that doesn't need retouching. I used a mix of golds, bronzes and cranberries to bring out Tara's stunning brown eyes.

Debs was stupendous in every way. Our initial consultation was fun- she asked me all the right questions and explained her own approach to weddings and makeup. I don’t wear much makeup on an average day and I felt like she really listened and created a natural look that worked all day for the wedding and left me feeling beautiful and happy. The consultation was followed up by a suggestions for my skin type and suggestions about routine and health care leading up to the wedding. I was exhausted from work and travel in the months before and really needed these efficient tips to restore my face to its best self by the wedding.
On the day of, Debs was a reassuring voice and a calming presence. I can’t describe what a joy having her with us as we got ready was. It takes a special person to fit in with people you’ve known your whole life. Debs made everyone feel comfortable and managed to get me a break from arranging all-the-things when I needed it both. Life would be better in a lot of ways if Debs could be in charge on the regular.
In short… you couldn’t do better than Debs for makeup and skincare (and a bit of mental TLC). I really felt like my most beautiful self on the big day. Debs is simply someone who has an innate sense of what features make each woman most lovely. She did the very best job and was gracious, charming, and an all around pleasure 100% of the time. Finally, it’s worth noting that she has me enjoying makeup again after years “off”.

Thank you for being so amazing on the morning, you were such a calming influence and just did such a great job on my make up. I felt absolutely wonderful and loved my look, so thank you very much. You made my mum and best friend feel fabulous too, they loved their looks and felt gorgeous all day long.

Deborah is absolutely amazing and I cannot recommend her enough. She is so lovely on top of being a very talented artist and such a perfectionist. I had a trial and was so delighted with the result so I booked her that day for my wedding. She came to my hotel fully prepared and did bridal, bridesmaids and mother of the bride make up. Everyone looked gorgeous and I never felt more beautiful. I was so happy with my bridal make up I booked her again to do my make up for my friend's wedding! I will be using her services again in future.
